Brilliant mate
I'd give Reserchers a way to make money perhaps? Perhaps attract those who would normally not make such a char.

Although miners could just make a alt char to do that, but... maybe make the scan time take several minutes to discourage that? eg. Miners dont wana waist time switchin chars then the long scan when they can just pay a local researcher 1mil to PM them the best area to mine at the moment...??

Cheers

Miners outside of Dublin have a hard enough time finding traders to sell their ore to as it is. I highly doubt they're going to be able to find a convenient Researcher ID-ed player sitting in the system with current information on the state of the fields in that system. At that point it would be faster to just switch to another character and do it yourself, and that would send mining profits futher into the gutter than they already are because you have to spend time doing that.

I don't really like the idea of any features that encourage metagaming.
